Some group of adults thought it would be a great idea for a bunch of little kids to perform Scarface as a school play. I gotta say … I totally agree. Sure beats the fourth grade play we did about Samuel de Champlain exploring the New World. Yes, that seriously happened. Who exactly is Samuel de Champlain?

Wikipedia’s take:

Samuel de Champlain (c. 1580[2] – December 25, 1635), “The Father of New France”, was a French navigator, cartographer, draughtsman, soldier, explorer, geographer, ethnologist, diplomat and chronicler, who founded Quebec City on July 3, 1608.

What the hell is a draughtsman? More importantly, what were a bunch of eight-year-old Americans doing performing a play about a French Canadian of any sort, let alone a draughtsman?

Regardless, I had the part of a Native American tribal chief, who I belief we were still referring to as an Indian chief back in 1988. It’s hard to remember though. Our teacher made us smoke a ton of peyote for that play.

In other news, great performance here by Tony Montanito.
